Recap of Day 17: The negotiation of cheating went down yesterday. I literally went nuts over nuts. I was craving something in the shop and I started mentally negotiating raw nuts over roasted nut butter in my head and then I thought, "WTF is wrong with me?".

Sometimes it's trivial (reading this mine sounds totally trivial) but for me it's about the principal of sticking to a goal.

I pulsed raw cauliflower (rice substitute) then I added diced yellow pepper, jalepeño, avocado, mango, cilantro and green onions and then squeezed lime over it. Tossed it and then ate it in a Radicchio wrap. I had enough left over that eating it alone was even better than in the wrap.
